"I am delighted that the once-in-a-generation redevelopment of the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre has reached another key milestone with the submission of the planning application for its transformation. The 15hectare site, opened in 1964, is set for a revamp of its athletics stadium, indoor arena, and swimming and diving facilities."
"The proposals include upgrading indoor zones to allow year-round use for local clubs, community groups and elite athletes. And a new public hub will combine leisure, play and sport with a cafe, 200m running track, basketball court and an outdoor gym."
"The project aims for a 97% cut in carbon emissions through measures including photovoltaic roof panels and air-source heat pumps. The project is supported by a 23m investment from the mayor's Green Finance Fund to help the centre go fully electric for the first time in its 60year history."
